Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West is Cormac McCarthy's most critically-acclaimed novel to date, but it's also his most complicated story. One of the most frustrating things for readers is the ending, which is presented in such an indirect way that even the basic facts of it can be questioned.
With this video I want to answer:
What did the Judge do to the Kid?
Why did the Judge want to kill the Kid?
What was the main conflict between the Judge and the Kid throughout the entire book?
Why did Cormac McCarthy write his ending the way he did?
